Assessment On The Game

The Mumbai City head coach expressed his thoughts on the game by saying, “We had enough chances to score against Chennaiyin, but unfortunately there was no goal. Irrespective of the result, it was a difficult game for us, our second game away from home and second game in less than three days. We fought throughout the game and four points in two games is not bad.”

The Portuguese tactician went on to add, “This is a good start for us. Picking up four points before the series of home games and unlike last year, we had one point in the first few away games. We are now ready for the home games coming up.”
